Application filed April 21, 1916. Serial No. 92,756.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Zrsso DEMETRIO BEBIS, Greece, resident of Paris, France, and whose post-oflice address is 8 Cit Rougemont, Paris 9 France, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Sheet of Paper for Commercial Correspondence, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a novel'form of writing paper for postal correspondence.

The object of my invention is to provide a sheet of paper which permits both sides being written upon, either by hand or by a type-writer, while the address, by folding the sheet, will be kept on a visible part of same and the writing entirely hidden.

A further object of my invention is to provide means whereby said sheet of paper may be opened after sealing without spoiling either the sheet or the writing.

One form of my invention is represented by way of example in the annexed drawing, wherein Figure 1 shows the form of the sheet before folding.

Fig. 2 represents a side edge view. of the sheet.

Fig. 3 represents a similar View of the sheet in the first step of its folding.

Fig. 4 represents the second step of the 7 folding.

Fig. 5 is a front view of the sheet before finally folding and Fig. 6 shows the sheet in its finally closed position.

like reference letters designate like parts throughout the several figures.

The sheet of paper consists of a blank piece divided into three rectangular folds or sections: a b and 0. The outer edges of the fold -a are surrounded by a gummed flap dand said flap is detachable from said fold -Cl/'" by means of perforations.

The sections 6 and 0 are adapted to be folded along the line EE. To the outer edge of the lower fold 0 is attached a gummed flap e, provided with a row of perforations 9 and a similar row of perforations f is in the fold 0 adjacent the flap e.

1 portion of The contents of the letter may be written on the'whole back surface of the sheet and also the front face of folds b and -0-.

To close the letter proceed as follows:

Turn fold aalong the line AA in the direction of the arrow m (Fig. 2).

Turn the coincident folds ab alon the line EE as indicated by arrow n/ Fig. 3) down on fold 0. Turn flap 'ealong the line DD as indicated by arrow 1, (Fig. 4). By these steps the blank has that form shown in Fig. 5. I

Fold the left hand portion of Fig. 5 on line NR down on right-hand portion, after the flap e has been fixed by its gummed side on the sheet. Moisten the gummed flaps 0Z and secure the two coincident half portions of section or together to arrive'at the form shownon a larger scale in Fig. 6.

When the sheet has thus been folded the perforated lines d f and g overlie in such a manner that the letter may be opened by breaking the paper along the lines of these Having now particularly described the nature of my invention what I claim 1s:

A sheet of letter paper and an integral inclosure therefor comprising a blank sheet having two parallel dividing lines forming the sheet into two terminal sections and an intermediate section all of substantially equal dimensions, gummed flaps along the entire lengths of the three marginal edges of one of said terminal sections and lines of perforations wheresaid flaps join said terminal section, a gummed flap along the end edge of the other terminal section and having its end portions projecting beyond the side edges of the adjacent terminal section, said flap and said adjacent terminal section having parallel lines of perforations and the perforated line of the flap being turned at right angles where said flap projects at the sides of the sheet, said terminal sections adapted to be folded against opposite sides of the intermediate section and then the bytearing along the perforated lines, subwhole sheet folded upon itself at right angles stantially as set forth. i 10 to the lines of said first named foldings, the In testimony whereof I have aifixed my gummed flaps adapted to secure the parts signature in presence of tWo Witnesses.

5 thus j folded along-the marginal edges'there: .ZIS SO DEMETRIO BEBIS.

of, and said lines of perforations of thefo'ld Witnesses: ed sections adapted to overlie each other a TASSO P. CASOTTI, whereby the seal of the'lletter may be'broken-I" V 'CHASQJP. PRESSLY.
